[0020] In the light of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular construction that allows easy insta

Problems solved by technology

In addition, since a large force is required for installing the mounting clip 40, there is also a problem that a burden imposed on a worker increases and thus a number of operating time is required for the installation work.
For this reason, when a

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Next, the vehicular interior parts according to the present invention will hereinafter be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Similar to the conventional interior parts (pillar garnishes) shown in FIG. 14 to FIGS. 16(a) and 16(b), the interior part of the present invention is mounted to a vehicle body portion, having air bag components disposed therein, by a mounting, device after the flexible portion having a predetermined length and extending from the mounting device is inserted into a mounting bracket which is mounted on the inner side of the interior part so as to protrude with a predetermined height from the inner side thereof.

[0043] Furthermore, in the present invention as well as shown in FIG. 16(a), the protrusion height H of the mounting bracket 32 provided in the interior part (pillar garnish) is set smaller than the total length L of the flexible portion 46 of the mounting device, and when the mounting device is installed by inserting the...

Abstract

Interior parts for vehicles such as a front pillar garnish having a mounting bracket 32 to which a mounting clip 40 is connected so that the front pillar garnish is mounted to a front pillar. The mounting bracket 32 is formed on the inner side (that faces the front pillar) of the garnish main body 30 and has an inclined guiding portion 70 in its accommodating space 36 so that the flexible portion 46 of the mounting clip 40 inserted into the accommodating space 36 is bent inside the mounting bracket 32 by the inclined guiding portion 70, and the second engaging portion 50 at the distal end of the flexible portion 46 is prevented from contacting the garnish main body 30 by way of the opening 72 of the mounting bracket 32, thus allowing the mounting clip 40 not to be forcibly pressed against the garnish main body 30.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to interior parts for a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as an “interior part”) and more particularly to a mounting structure of a vehicular interior part to vehicle body portions having air bag components disposed therein. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In recent automobiles, in order to protect a vehicle occupant from an impact caused by a side collision accident or the like, a side air bag apparatus is installed inside a side portion of a seat back for protecting the upper body of the vehicle occupant, and also put to practical use is a curtain air bag apparatus is also installed inside a vehicle portion running from the front pillar to the roof side frame (and to the rear pillar) for protecting the head of the vehicle occupant. [0005]FIG. 13 is a cross sectional view of an air bag 14 of a curtain air bag apparatus AU expanded and developed within the interior of a veh...
